While it was originally scheduled to be released in early access on October 20, 2022, Second Extinction was ultimately postponed to an indefinite date. Today, Systemic Reaction takes the floor to announce news that will clearly not delight those who were waiting for the release of version 1.0.
Development of Second Extinction canceled
The studio explains that although the game is “very appreciated” by its “players”, it unfortunately did not meet with the success it hoped for. Unforeseen circumstances also prevented Systemic Reaction from releasing version 1.0 of Second Extinction.
Indeed, as the release scheduled for the end of last year approached, the studio discovered critical problems which forced it to postpone the game.
Unfortunately, it became clear that our small team did not have the resources necessary to meet our quality goals and exit Early Access. […] and that the investment required to achieve this was too great for us to bear.
Second Extinction will therefore be withdrawn from sale, but the servers will remain active until the end of next year to allow owners to continue to decimate dinosaurs alone or with friends. More information will be communicated on this in the future.
Although this decision may be disappointing, the studio assures that it is not accompanied by any layoffs and that the experience gained from this adventure will be used in future productions.
Although this is not the outcome we were all hoping for, we want to assure you that this decision does not come with any layoffs. The passion, talent and skills of the team who worked on Second Extinction are being leveraged on other projects within the Avalanche Studios group. We ask that you show understanding and compassion towards the team members involved in the project who have poured their hearts into this game, as we head towards our next adventures.
We can only hope that the studio’s next projects will have a better fate. Funny ending for a game announced at Xbox 20/20 with the aim of promoting the Xbox Series X even before the Xbox Games Showcase in July 2020.
If you want to give it a chance before it’s no longer possible, then you can get it on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
